FINALLY THE Finest Driving Lessons Ballycoogue Has Ever Seen

At RSA School of Motoring we take a refreshingly different approach to driver training. Our years of experience has taught us that you the student are only as good as the teacher. Which is why we continually train and upskill our instructors to not only give you the best driving lesson experience there is to be had in Ballycoogue but also to give you a calm relaxed environment to learn in. You will never see our instructors lose their cool.

Here is why people call us the best driving school in Ballycoogue

Our instructors have been trained to quickly recognise what level you are at, where your bad habits are and what remedial measures should be taken to guarantee you make the most progress possible from each lesson with us.

Retaining all the new information you're hit with when learning to drive is tough for any student. To help our students with this we have built our own training course to study between lessons to help reinforce what you learn in the car.

No other Ballycoogue Driving Schools offer free material like ours. We have seen pupils learn 3-4 times faster with our home study training. Lessons come and go fast and it is easy to forget what you have learned. Our extra lesson material means you can follow up on what was covered before the next lesson ensuring you don't waste time and money going over the same things.

Let us start there.

What exactly is Essential Driver Training?

EDT Driving Lessons Ballycoogue

You may not know but many years ago Ireland had one of the worst road accident records in Europe. The Road Safety Authority had to do something so they designed a new training syllabus that all new drivers had to complete. The Essential Driver Training or EDT.

This EDT requires that all learners must complete a minimum of 12 hours of essential driver training by an RSA approved driving instructor.

These 12 lessons were created with the intention of filling in the vital driving skill gaps that young drivers had which were leading to the high level of road accidents occurring each year.

Getting ready for the Test in Ballycoogue

Pretest Driving Lessons Ballycoogue

There is learning the vital driving skills and developing your knowledge of road signs and road safety. And then there is learning to pass the driving test. The test is your chance to show that you are safe enough to drive unaccompanied. Like any exam you have ever had to sit, 80% of passing the driving test is achieved well before the day of the test with right preparation.

If your test is booked there is a lot of unknowns and fears to contend with. Fear can distract even the most experienced of drivers. Our approach removes all the unknowns and associated fear that comes with it.

Most driving instructors will keep giving you lessons until they ‘think’ you are ready. Often they will send you to do the test not really knowing if you will pass or not. And they do this because they do not truly understand the driving test, how you will be graded or what areas of your driving will cause you to fail.
Luckily this is not how we operate. All our instructors have been trained by ex-testers so they fully understand the driving tester and what they are looking for from you on test day.

By the end you’ll understand fully the four stages of the test and understand exactly what the driving tester is looking for from you, how they will speak to you on the day and why and when the tester will mark the sheet.

Pop Quiz: Are you ready for the test

On your driving test, while doing your turnabout, must the manoeuvre be completed in three movements?

No it can be done in 3, 5 or 7 movements. The less the better. Most cars can do it in three depending on the size of the road and car.

Refreshingly Good Driving Lessons in Ballycoogue

We all remember the exciting engaging teacher at school that made learning easy and fun. And we remember the poor teachers that had no business teaching anyone. Not all teachers are made equal and that is certainly no less a fact with driving instructors. It is easy to Google 'Driving Lessons Ballycoogue' and find driving instructors near you but which can you trust to best teach you.

Experience and professionalism is what you need from a driving school. A driving school that gets pupils past the test.

Gillian Nolan

Gillian Nolan - I passed my test!

The best driving school in Leinster! My instructor Joe, he is a brilliant teacher with excellent tips & advice. He's also a bit of craic! I became much more confident and noticeably a better driver within my first 2-3 lessons. The pricing is very reasonable and Joe works with you to best fit your schedule. I wouldn't recommend any other motor school, these guys are by far the best!
